David Lubar, the author of over twenty-five popular books for children and young adults was the guest speaker. David says, “I’d much rather write about aliens, werewolves, or hungry carnival monsters than about myself.” That said, he managed to regale the audience of students and parents with some very entertaining stories of his career path toward becoming a writer.

Growing up in Morristown, Lubar was the class clown and cut-up and he was frequently sent from class with a note about his behavior to the school library, of all places. That was because his mother also happened to be the school librarian.

The Hunterdon County Librarians Association is a nonprofit organization comprised of Hunterdon County school and public librarians. The organization meets three times a year to discuss current topics of common interest including literature and new technology pertaining to library service.
